Google, Apple, Amazon, Netflix as we all know have only been around a few days.
In gaming? Netflix is definitely at the gate with the current options they have. Apple as well with their Arcade service. Google and Amazon keep coming back but never stay long, I'm not even sure they should be in the conversation.
Tencent has been in gaming for a long time now, they've owned Riot since 2011. They've had their hand in other gaming companies many times since then. They're well past the gate, it's not even in their rear view anymore.
